Acting on its own as well as often forming part of a multi-office group with lawyers based out of the firm’s offices in South East England, Blake Morgan LLP provides ‘clear legal advice’ to public and private sector clients in contentious and non-contentious matters spanning Wales and the wider UK region. As part of her broad construction practice, which includes a substantial volume of public sector work, Joanna Rees is ’very knowledgeable about the NHS methodology of procurement and construction contracting’. In more general terms, Rees is also highly adept at advising on large infrastructure and energy projects, where her expertise runs the gamut of the project lifecycle, from tender through to build phase. On the contentious front, the recently promoted and ‘exceptionally capable and experienced’ Kate Howell ’manages complex construction disputes with great skill and efficiency’.
